3 point flaw or 2 point merit
You have no face to call your own. Every sunset you awaken with a new visage, an amalgamation drawn from memory and imagination. Your attractiveness and outward sex remain constant, but your apparent ethnicity and features are utterly protean. You can use Malleable Visage and a looking glass or other reflective surface to reconstruct your true face from memory, but this requires at least three successes at difficulty 8 to make you recognizable and five successes for a flawless copy. Characters must have at least one dot of Vicissitude to purchase this Trait. Although this Trait is normally a Flaw for vampires concerned with maintaining recognition and reputation, it may be a Merit for Fiends on the run from vengeful sires or witch hunters.
In the case of Brian O'Reilly, this flaw is a manifestation of the temporal paradox caused by his development of the Path of Transformation. Each day as he sleeps, the path activates, causing one random change of which Brian is capable. This transformation comes at the normal cost (one point of blood), and may not be exactly human (greenish skin, yellow eyes, wildly long hair and other issues are all possible).
